Really, I don't know what to ask you. (Note: At this time, Silva's new opponent had not been decided) For you, how is this fight for you now that Sakuraba can't fight? How did you feel when Sakuraba asked you to fight a 4th time?

I saw that you dressed up as Santa Claus and gave gifts to poor children in Curitiba, Brazil. Fans only get to see the wild Silva in the ring, not your kinder side, outside of the ring. Do you do a lot of charity work in Brazil?

This is an old dream of mine. I never received gifts from Santa Claus so it distributing gifts to children was my dream. I hope I can do this many, many times. (Note: Silva's match with Mark Hunt was made known to the interviewers, and Silva, at this point)

Pride:

A much bigger fighter but you've fought bigger opponents before. What's your reaction to having to fight a big striker like Mark Hunt?
